Video to shorts converter
From full episode to standalone moment.
A video to shorts converter that is not a lazy crop. Most tools cut a long video into fixed-length chunks and stretch them to vertical. FKNStudio reads the transcript, picks the moments that actually work as standalone ideas, and reframes each one to 9:16 with speaker-aware, aspect-preserving cropping — no stretched video, no chopped frames.
How to create YouTube Shorts from an existing video
Bring your video
Start from a video you own or have permission to repurpose — a podcast, interview, webinar, tutorial or stream. The link is the only input; there are no uploads.
1:24:17Choose the strongest moments
Before anything renders, you see the suggested moments and pick the ones that work as standalone posts. Nothing is created until you approve it.

How to make shorts from a YouTube video
Your footage. A better fit.

- An optional hook overlay to stop the scroll in the first seconds
- Your logo, handle and call to action on every clip
- Transcript-based trimming — handles snap to spoken lines, so cuts land between sentences
